• Lake Burien youth facility replaces director after scathing report (seattletimes.com) — Leadership at the state-run Lake Burien youth mental health facility has changed, with a new executive officer installed after a watchdog report criticized care and staff practices. The center, which serves a small number of high-needs youth, has struggled with turnover, injuries, and allegations of overused restraints. State officials say the move is part of broader efforts to improve conditions for residents and staff.
